I ordered the green bean chicken, and it was absolutely awful. I called in the order and they were very nice on the phone but also very short, I'm assuming because they were really busy. When I picked up the food it was ready and I paid inside. The food was piping hot and I did appreciate the temperature. I needed to run an errand and went into the grocery outlet next door and came back to the car and the food was still piping hot. I thought I was going to be in love with my dinner. On the way home I was so hungry that I grabbed the fork and took a bite of the food. Not realizing I took a bite of a condensed ball of cornstarch, that I confused for chicken. The cornstarch immediately permeated through my mouth and gagged me so bad that I had to spit the food out. I then took a deeper look at the food and realized that the chicken pieces were all pieces of condensed balls of cornstarch. Some places use cornstarch to make a gravy for certain sauces and I am completely fine with that when it is dissolved and in the gravy sauce. However this was not and I will forever be traumatized. the food ended up somewhere out the window on Riverside boulevard. I was tempted to scoop it all up and to drive it back to the chopsticks Express and throw it at the window. I will never have a stir fried item from here again and if you do please make sure it is not condensed cornstarch balls...
Read moreCall your order in advance so you won't have to wait in the tiny waiting area. When I get an itch for hearty Chinese food, I call these guys in advance, drive over and get my drink at the nearby Grocery Outlet. By the time I get my drink, my lunch order is ready. All my single lunch orders are ready in 10 - 15 min. I like their curry beef over rice; it's not on the menu, but they had no problem making it for me. They also make cheeseburgers and fries, which was surprising to see in a Chinese take out joint. They're ok burgers, maybe a little overcooked, but they come through in a pinch. My recommendations from them: broccoli & beef over rice, basil chicken, and soy sauce chow mein with shrimp. Good...
Read moreI think they have the best chow mein in town. And they make really good hamburgers (and perfect fries) for less than any of our local chain store/fast food places.Their broccoli beef is super yummy too. So to their fried rice. I haven't tried much else from their extensive menu but I suppose I should because I like all their food that I have tried. I am also very sensitive to MSG and have never ever gotten a headache after eating their food; and I react quickly and painfully to even a trace of that stuff in my food. This is a take-out location. There is no seating for eating there, but they are fast with any order. Call your order in and it'll be ready when...
